“And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but
he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created
must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created;
and they must have remained for ever, and had no end. And they would have had no
children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having
no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin. But
behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.
Adam fell that men might be; and men are that they might have joy.” (2
Nephi 2:22-25)

b. LDS: Man would never have known
good and evil.

“And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy
concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed by the name of God,
for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall
have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God. And Eve, his wife,
heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our
transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good
and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God
giveth unto all the obedient.” (Moses 5:10-11, Pearl of Great Price)

The Bible: ADAM’S SIN WAS A CURSE, NOT A
BLESSING, ON MANKIND.

a. Spiritual death, Gen 2:17
(Rom 5:12).

b. Shame, trials and
sufferings, Gen 3:10, 16-19.

c. Physical death, Gen 3:19.

d. Man could have known good
and experienced joy w/o sinning -

-Faith in God’s word as He
told them what was good and what was evil! (Just as today!)
